Smarter than your old history teacher, funnier than the founding
fathers, and more American than apple pie, The Mental Floss History of
the United States is an almost (but not entirely) comprehensive primer
on American history (or at least, the good stuff). From the editors of
MentalFloss.com and mental_floss magazine--with its tagline: "Feel
smart again"--comes an American History text packed with hilarious (but
true!) trivia written in the smart-aleck tradition of The Mental Floss
History of the World, Mental Floss Presents In the Beginning, and the
first mental_floss book, Condensed Knowledge. Perfect for trivia
buffs, history lovers, college students, and anyone who likes to laugh
and learn. United States history has never been so fun.
